    Difference maker in terms of whole house coverage. Selecting slightly more square footage than you actually need is probably key. Easy to get up and running without any real hickups. It has a large footprint that takes a while to get used to visually but works great especially if your upgrading from an older nighthawk.

    Nice Upgrade

    Setting up this router was easy, the dedicated app walked me through all the steps. I was able to get it up and running in around 10 minutes. The range is impressive—I'm able to get a strong, reliable signal throughout my two-story home. In terms of performance, it’s more than capable of supporting multiple HD video streams simultaneously without any noticeable buffering or lag, making it ideal for households with heavy streaming or multiple connected devices.

    Title: Great Description: Easy to install. Works great. Very fast on all our devices. So glad we upgraded from our old Netgear. It always worked well for 6 years. The new one is even faster. The range and signal strength is great. Works in all rooms of a large house.

    The installation was simple. I also love the simple password that i can commit to memory. The signal is strong and to date, it has not slowed down or created buffering when streaming movies.

    I purchased the BE65009 to replace an old (per haps ancient would be better word) Netgear router. It works like a charm. Set up was simple and easy. I immediately noticed an increase in speed as well as strength of signal. A nice extra was that I could retain my old network name and passowrd. I highly recommend the router for a home network.

    My second Netgear router to own. I like Netgear. It was easy enough to set up, powerful and within my price range. I have had it 2 weeks and love it.

    setup is easy and it works as described. I used both the iPhone app and a web browser. I prefer the web browser. And the Wifi signal seems strong.

    This router was easy to set-up and extremely fast. It replaced an older model that wasn’t fully keeping up with the latest speeds available with fiber. The only critique is the unit is a bit tall, we previously had a “flatter” router with antennas on our entertainment stand, but had to put this on the floor next to the stand as it looked way out of place. Check the dimensions to make sure it fits what you have room for. Otherwise, awesome router that packs a big punch!

    I procrastinated for years to get a stand alone modem and a stand alone router. I always went for convenience of the modem/router combo. Well the difference is a huge upgrade. The new router is very reliable, the range is more than enough and the speeds are amazing. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

    Fastest and best router that I’ve had so far. Setup was easy to do on your own. Love it so far and Netgear and GEEK Squad support is available should you have any issues.

    This new router's awesome! My old Asus was dropping signal constantly, making working from home a pain. Traded it in at Best Buy using my warranty – so glad I did! It's super fast and reliable, exactly what I needed.
